I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on Solid

Personally, I prefer using JSX for frontend projects, and I believe that No-Virtual DOM is truly a "next-gen" concept. Because of this, I’ve been following SolidJS for several years now and have watched it mature step-by-step. However, I regretfully feel that Solid's development momentum hasn't been particularly strong. To me, it feels a bit like FreeBSD, something niche and geeky (though I would much prefer it to be the "Next-Gen React" and hope for its widespread adoption).

What exactly is hindering its popularity? Is it the lack of a flagship application (as far as I know, the most popular project using Solid is OpenCode, but I’m not aware of many others), or is it the lack of backing from major tech companies?

Speaking of corporate backing, from what I gather, among the new generation of No-Virtual DOM frameworks, Svelte seems to have higher adoption than Solid. For instance, Apple uses Svelte. What is the primary reason for this? Is it simply that people prefer Vue-style template syntax over JSX?
